Ethereum vs Ripple

I've bought a little bit of both. I like Ripple but it's a PITA to buy right now compared to Ethereum.

I wish the marketplace was easier to navigate...

I am cheering for every investor to lose everything and do a 1929 off a building.

We are witnessing the progressive corruption of Dougster. Unlikely he will even last as long as his mentor, Bernie Madoff.

XLM is gonna be a big winner. IBM backing and FairX, glad i got in at under 30 cents.

And you say there is something really wrong with me.

I’m impressed by the simplicity and low transaction costs of Ripple. Great for supply chain management. Has big bank support, including American Express.

Big bank support is a negative for me: at least from the perspective of me investing in line with my ideals. For a purely investment POV, however, hard to argue it is not a plus and the big rally sure seems to support that.

I would be disappointed, however, if, after all the effort people put into decentralization the market voted on a centralized solution as its favorite. In the end, though, if that is the will of people so be it! I too would jump on the train at that point if it's clear it's going to be the winner.

Still early in the race, however, IMO.

Eastman Kodak just announced a crypto currency they are going to use for payment of photo images using blockchain technology.

Buy! Buy! Buy!
